But my how you've changed
Since the last time I saw you
Girl you've been rearranged
I always said your people
Were just like my kin
When I was down and out
They would always take me in
Chorus:
Oh I love you my baby ruth
Never lie to you
I only tell the truth
Oh I love you since you were a child
Every time I see you girl
You always raise a smile
I was living out on the highway
You didn't turn me out
I lived in your closet
And you fed me by mouth
My boots were my pillow
Wrapped under my head
I kept all my stuff
Stashed out under your bed
Well it's sure good to see you But my how you've changed Since the last time I saw you Girl you've been rearranged I always said your people Were just like my kin When I was down and out They would always take me in Chorus: Oh I love you my baby ruth Never lie to you I only tell the truth Oh I love you since you were a child Every time I see you girl You always raise a smile I was living out on the highway You didn't turn me out I lived in your closet And you fed me by mouth My boots were my pillow Wrapped under my head I kept all my stuff Stashed out under your bed Explain Request ×
